Licata
Licata is a town on the south coast of Sicily, at the mouth of the Salso river. It succeeds the Greek city founded around 282 BCE by Phintias, tyrant of Acragas, who resettled the people of Gela there and named it after himself. In 256 BCE the Romans won the naval Battle of Cape Ecnomus off its coast during the First Punic War.
